摘要
本文通过对明朝皇权转移之际种种关涉政治合法性的博弈进行考察,透视明代皇位继承的文化和心理条件,对帝制体系运行中传统、实力、社会心理、人事关系间的纠结进行剖析。明代除曾发生建文、永乐间武装争位情况外,其他过渡较平稳的皇权转移仍常伴随围绕政治合法性的博弈,皇帝、士大夫、后妃、贵族、宦官都在其间扮演角色。皇权转移关乎国运、政局、民生,由此形成具有制度、文化、时局综合含义的更替规范和社会期待。这种期待,具有一定程度上降低皇权随意更迭的约束作用,凸显合法性构建的必要,但总体而言,明代皇权转移仍在传统政治范围内,没有发生“转型”的明确迹象。
By examining the struggles for political legitimacy occurred in the imperial power transitions in the Ming Dynasty,this paper analyses the political culture related to the throne inheritance,including the intertwined factors such as tradition,strength,social psychology,and personal connections.In addition to the usurpation of Zhu Di(朱棣),the other less violent or peaceful imperial power transitions also involve political games over legitimacy.The emperors,officials,empresses and royal concubines,nobilities,and eunuchs all played roles in these games.Since the transition of imperial power was crucial to the stability of the dynasty,political situation,and people’s livelihood,some social expectations came into being.This kind of expectations led to necessary legitimacy construction activities and in certain degree reduced the possibility of irregular change of emperors.Such an observation suggests that the Ming politics is still running on the track of traditional politics without fundamental changes.
